Hi, Patti-- Do you have any information about the wife of Edward2, Elizabeth Shaw? I've found her a bit confusing, to say the least, and wondered what you have found? I have her birthdate as 2-26-1656 (per the Genealogies of the Early Families of Weymouth) and that she died 7-6-1748 in Hingham. Do you have her parents? Thanks, Andrea Crowell ACrowell@email.msn.com -----Original Message----- From: PATTIBATES@aol.com <PATTIBATES@aol.com> To: BATES-L@rootsweb.com <BATES-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Thursday, January 20, 2000 7:38 PM Subject: [BATES-L] Descended from Edward of Weymouth >>Edward Bates, b. 26 Nov 1606, Boston, Lincolnshire, England > Emigrated from England to Boston, MA on the ship "Griffin" in 1636 > m.
